Follow these safety, servicing and ESD precautions to prevent damage and protect against potential hazards such as electrical shock and X-rays.

Samsung Electronics 1-1

1-1 Safety Precautions

1. Be sure that all of the built-in protective devices are replaced.

2. When reinstalling the chassis and its assemblies, be sure to restore all protective devices, including control knobs and compartment covers.

3. Make sure that there are no cabinet openings through which people-particularly children--might insert fingers and contact dangerous voltages. Such openings include the spacing between the picture tube and the cabinet mask, excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and improperly fitted back covers.

4. Design Alteration Warning: Never alter or add to the mechanical or electrical design of the unit. Example: Do not add auxiliary audio or video connectors. Such alterations might create a safety hazard. Also, any design changes or additions will void the manufacturer's warranty.

5. Leakage Current Hot Check (Figure 1-1): Warning: Do not use an isolation transformer during this test. Use a leakagecurrent tester or a metering system that complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI C101.1, Leakage Current for Appliances), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL Publication UL1410, 59.7).

With the unit completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. With the unit's AC switch first in the ON position and then OFF, measure the current between a known earth ground (metal water pipe, etc.) and all exposed metal parts. Examples: Handle brackets, metal cabinets, screwheads and control shafts. The current measured should not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Reverse the powerplug prongs in the AC outlet and repeat.

6. Insulation Resistance Cold Check: (1) With the unit's AC plug disconnected from the AC source, connect an electrical jumper across the two AC prongs. (2) Set the power switch to ON. (3) Measure the resistance between the shorted AC plug and any exposed metallic parts. Example: Screwheads, antenna, control shafts or handle brackets.

If any of the exposed metallic parts has a return path to the chassis, the measured resistance should be between 1 and 5.2 megohms. If there is no return path, the measured resistance should be "infinite." If the resistance is outside these limits, a shock hazard might exist. See Figure 1-2

1-1 Safety Precautions (Continued)

7. Components, parts and wiring that appear to have overheated or that are otherwise

damaged should be replaced with parts

that meet the original specifications. Always determine the cause of damage or overheating, and correct any potential hazards

8. Observe the original lead dress, especially near the following areas: Antenna wiring, sharp edges, and especially the AC and high voltage power supplies. Always inspect for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring. Do not change the spacing between components and the printed circuit board. Check the AC power cord for damage. Make sure that no wires or components touch thermally hot parts.

9. Product Safety Notice: Some electrical and mechanical parts

have special safety-related characteristics which might not be obvious from visual inspection. These safety features and the protection they give might be lost if the replacement component differs from the original--even if the replacement is rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.

10 Components that are critical for safety are

indicated in the circuit diagram by

shading, or . Use replacement

components that have the same ratings,

especially for flame resistance and

dielectric strength specifications. A

replacement part that does not have the

same safety characteristics as the original

might create shock, fire or other hazards.

1-2 Servicing Precautions

1. Servicing precautions are printed on the cabinet. Follow them.

2. Always unplug the unit's AC power cord from the AC power source before attempting to: (a) Remove or reinstall any component or assembly, (b) Disconnect an electrical plug or connector, (c) Connect a test component in parallel with an electrolytic capacitor.

3. Some components are raised above the printed circuit board for safety. An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used. The internal wiring may be clamped to prevent contact with thermally hot components. Reinstall all such elements to their original position.

4. After servicing, always check that the screws, components and wiring have been correctly reinstalled. Make sure that the portion around the serviced part has not been damaged.

5. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (examples: metal panels, input terminals and earphone jacks).

6. Insulation Checking Procedure: Disconnect the power cord from the AC source and turn the power switch ON. Connect an insulation resistance meter (500V) to the blades of the AC plug.

The insulation resistance between each blade of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (see above) should be greater than 1 megohm.

7. Never defeat any of the B+ voltage interlocks. Do not apply AC power to the unit (or any of its assemblies) unless all solid-state heat sinks are correctly installed.

8. Always connect a test instrument's ground lead to the instrument chassis ground before connecting the positive lead; always remove the instrument's ground lead last.

Precautions

Warning1: First read the "Safety Precautions" section of this manual. If some unforeseen circumstance creates a conflict

between the servicing and safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions.

1-3 Precautions for Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs)

1-4 Special Precautions and Warning Labels for Laser Products

1. Some semiconductor ("solid state") devices are easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs). Examples include integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the occurrence of component damage caused by static electricity.

2. Immediately before handling any semiconductor components or assemblies, drain the electrostatic charge from your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging wrist-strap device. (Be sure to remove it prior to applying power--this is an electric shock precaution.)

3. After removing an ESD-equipped assembly, place it on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil to prevent accumulation of electrostatic charge.

4. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges that damage ESDs.

5. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron when soldering or unsoldering ESDs.

6. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Many solder removal devices are not rated as "anti-static" (these can accumulate sufficient electrical charge to damage ESDs).

7. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective package until you are ready to install it. Most replacement ESDs are packaged with leads that are electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or other conductive materials.

8. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

9. Minimize body motions when handing unpackaged replacement ESDs. Motions such as brushing clothes together, or lifting a foot from a carpeted floor can generate enough static electricity to damage an ESD.

1-4 Special Precautions and Warning Labels for Laser Products (Continued)

1-4-1 Warnings

1. When servicing, do not approach the LASER exit with the eye too closely. In case it is necessary to confirm LASER beam emission, be sure to observe from a distance of more than 30 cm from the surface of the objective lens on the optical pick-up block.

2. Do not attempt to handle the objective lens when the DISC is not on the tray.

1-4-2 Laser Diode Specifications

Material: GaAs+ GaAlAs Wavelength: 760-800 nm Emission Duration: Continuous

Laser Output: 0.2 mw (measured at a

1.6 mm distance from the objective lens surface on the optical pick-up block.)

1-4-3 Handling the Optical Pick-up

1. Static electricity from clothing or the body may cause electrostatic breakdown of the laser diode in the Optical Pickup. Follow this procedure:

2. Place a conductive sheet on the work bench (i.e., the black sheet used for wrapping

repair parts.) Note: The surface of the work

bench should be covered by a copper

ground plane, which is grounded.

3. The repair technician must wear a wrist strap which is grounded to the copper sheet.

4. To remove the Optical Pickup block: Place the set on the conductive sheet, and momentarily touch the conductive sheet

with both hands. (While working, do not

allow any electrostatic sources--such as clothes--to touch the unit.)

5. Ground the "Short Terminal" (located on the PCB, inside the Pickup Assembly) before replacing the Pickup. This terminal should be shorted whenever the Pickup Assembly

is lifted or moved.

6. After replacing the Pickup, reopen the Short Terminal. See diagrams below:

The two currents from input pins PD1 (A+C) and PD2 (B+D) are converted into voltages through I/V Amp, and they are added to RF summing Amp. The photo diode (A+B+C+D) signal which is I-V changed is outputted by RFO (pin74). At this pin, the eye pattern can be checked.

The output of the focus error amp is the difference between RF I-V AMP(1) output Va and RF I-V AMP(2) output Vb,just is the Photo Diode ((A+C) - (B+D)) signal which is I-V changed. The focus error bias voltage applied to the (+) of focus error amp can be changed by D/A converter as shown in diagram, so that the offset of focus error amp can be adjust automatical. Focus error bias can be adjusted from the range of +100mV ~ -100mV by connectiong the resistor with pin 63 (FEBIAS).

5-1-4 Focus OK Circuit

The current signals from the side spot photo diode (E and F) are input to the E and F pin and converted into voltage signals by E I-V and F I-V AMP. The output of tracking error amp is due to the difference between E I-V AMP voltage output. The E-F balance can be adjusted by modifying the gain of E I-V AMP, and the tracking gain(Pin TE1) can be adjusted automatically by micom program.

Extracting the DC part of RFI and RFO and comparing with the basic DC level, if RF Level is more than basic level, the FOK is output. The focus OK circuit generates a timing window of focus on to monitor the focus search status of focus serve.

5-1-5 Mirror Circuit

5-1-6 EFM Comparator

After RFI signal is amplified by mirror amp, mirror signal is held in peak and bottom circuit. The following of 100KHZ traverse is possible in peak hold circuit and the loss of track count due to defect is counted in bottom hold circuit. Mirror output beyond 2KHz is. ÒLÓ at track on disc, ÒHÓ at interval between track on disc, ÒHÓ when the defect beyond 1.4ms is detected. The time constant for the mirror hold must be sufficiently large than of the traverse signal

The EFM comparator converts a RF signal into a binary signal As the asymmertry due to variations in disc manufacturing can not be eilminated by thr AC coupling alone, the reference voltage of EFM comparator is controlled utilizing the fact that the generation probability of 1,0 50% each in the binary EFM signals.

5-1-7 Defect Circuit

5-1-8 APC Circuit

The RFO signal bottom, after being inverted, is held with two time constant of long and short. The short time-constant bottom hold is done for a disc mirror defect more than 0.1msec, the long time-constant bottom hold is done with the mirror level prior to the defect. By differentiating this with a capacitor coupling and shifting the level, both signals are compared to generate the mirror defect detection signal.

As the laser diode has large negative temperature characteristic in its optical output when driven with a constant current on laser diode. Therefore, the output on processing monitor photo diode, must be a controlled current for getting regularly output power, thus the APC (Auto Power Control) circuit is composed.

The gain is adjusted by AGC Block with the function of maintainning the definite RF peak to peak level, after the operation of RF envelop detection and comparing with reference voltage. RFO level is kept stable in 1Vp-p, and input to EFM Slice.

The adjustment of audio output gain and the integration of possible de-emphasis output are executed by the low pass filter. If the control by MUTE signal from micom exist, and when input signal absent, two channel of right and left is builted in.

The Center Voltage is generated by using resistor dividing voltage.

5-2 Servo Block

5-2-1 Focus Servo Block

5-2-2 Tracking Servo Block

When defect=ÒH (the defect signal is detected), the focus servo loop is muting in case of focus phase compensation. At this time, the focus error signal is outputted through the low pass filter formed by connecting a capacitor(0.1µF) and a built-in 470K½ resistor to the FDFCT pin (pin60). Accordingly, the focus error output is held as the error value just before defect error during defect occuring. The peak frequency of focus loop phase compensation is at about 1.2KHz when the resistor connected to FSET pin(pin6) is 510k½, and it is inversely proportional to the resistor connected to the FSET pin. While the focus search is operating, the FS4 switch is on and then focus error signal is isolated, accordingly the focus search signal is output by FEO pin(pin48). When the FS2 switch is on(focus on), the focus servo loop is on and the focus error signal from FE2 pin(pin58) is outputted through the focus servo loop.

During detection of defect, the tracking error signal is output through the tracking servo loop after through the low pass filter formed by connecting a capacitor(0.1µF) and a built-in 470K½ resistor to the TDFCT pin(pin57) in case of tracking phase compensation. The value of tracking gain up/down can be controlled by TGU and TG2 pin. The peak frequency of tracking loop phase compensation, the dynamic range and offset of op amp can be adjusted by changing the value of resistor connected to FSET pin same as focus loop. In case

of unstable status of actuator after jumping, the ON/OFF of tracking loop is controlled by TM7 switch of break circuit. After 10-track jumping, servo circuit gets out of the liner range and actuator,s tracking is unstable occasionally. Accordingly, unnecessary jumping with many tracking error should be prevented.

5-2-3 Sled Servo Block

5-2-4 Spindle Servo Block

The 20K½ resistor and 0.33µF capacitor form the 200Hz low pass filter, and the carrier component of spindle servo error signals is eliminated. In CLV-S mode, SMEF becomes ÒLÓ and pin 25 low pass filter fc lowers, strenthening the filter further. The characteristics of high frequency phase compensation in focus tracking servo and the characteristics of cut off frequecny in CLV low pass filter are test by FSET pin.

The moving of pick-up is controlled by tracking servo output through low pass filter. The sled kick voltage is output for track jump operation.
